Quote: "Repressive measures against the highest and senior officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are ongoing due to the failure of strategic plans on the Ukrainian front.

According to the available data, Shoigu, the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, and Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, remain in their positions solely to prevent the discrediting of the top military and political leadership.

About 30-40% of the generals and officers who participated in the planning of the "special military operation" have been suspended from their duties and are under investigation.

Details: Hromov added that, taking into account the recent explosions at the Saky airfield in occupied Crimea and Zyabrovka airfield in Belarus, "new personnel decisions regarding the management staff are expected".
